Your are right, the topic is not "where does abortion exactly start", but "why does it not end?"

Everyone is Krishna conscious, just to different degrees: "Everyone, as they surrender to Me, I reward accordingly." Bhagavad-gita 4:11. So stop trying to rationalize (rationalize = "rational lies") your reasons to evade your duty.

Democracy bad. Monarchy good. So who is to decide who the monarch should be? The Islamic Caliphate? The Pope? Bob Enyart? George W. Bush? Who? And who decides who the Decider should be? No simplistic answers, please. Think before you speak. Think before you write. It took a WAR to decide that Yudhisthira would be the King.

All answers can be found in the Bhagavad-gita. "All of them - as they surrender unto Me, I reward accordingly." (BG 4:11). So, obviously, the greater your surrender, the greater your reward. In the Bhagavad-gita, chapter 12, verses 8 through 11, Krishna says, in a nutshell, "if you can't do this, then at least do this other thing... and if you can't do that, at least try to do..." So, IMHO, you can't be any more inclusive than the words of Krishna. I don't know ISKCON's position. Maybe they are more hard-line than Krishna.
